Soft Back

Book spine breaks open
closing one nostril I snort
the escape of glue.

Words are all in bold
white pages turned lightly.
Do I dare dog ear,

or shelf the volume
back to unread purity,
already unwritten.

'A Brave New World'
stands back to attention
awaiting future orders.


John G.Hall(C)2006
